Have you played scrims in prem with that thing? If yes then i’ll ask you to provide demos if you can. If no, then sorry, apparently you forgot how people were reacting to the Beggars Bazooka when it came out, everyone was reacting to it like a pub weapon with the “stock would always be the best, trying new things is for nerds” mentality, but when a couple of players started using it, it became the new meta.

Only ever saw one person using it like once and ended up just killing himself, hi muuki.

Yes, let’s keep the BFB unbanned so droso can keep missing shots on a defenseless medic at superspeed.

mix^/mTs squid ran it on Granary (along with a ton of other unlocks) in the UGC platinum HL grand finals upper bracket. Just because ONE person used it badly doesn’t mean it’s a bad unlock. What kind of proof is that?

This is where squid goes massive with the BFB. It’s unclear whether it’s because Street Hoops eSports (their opponents) were in a bad position, but nonetheless: http://youtu.be/p5WVfgZbt6M?t=17m55s

umm any scout that has moderately good aim can finish off 4 weak players off-guard with meatshots, bfb or not

I wasn’t advocating either way, I was just countering the previous poster who said BFB was completely useless. I agree, it probably would’ve been the same result with a normal scatter. The really important thing is that it did let squid get to a flank quite quickly. Maybe it helped with dodging, maybe not, but the quick flank while the rest of the team came in is really important.

EDIT: Also he took an important pill bottle before that flank, definitely using speed.

Although the speed helps, I don’t think I’ll be able to convince my fellow admins with this evidence if I’m advocating a ban.
